There arc indications that the sentiment
in favor of selling the Western and Atlantic
railroad is growing stronger. When Sena-
tor Deans bill, providing for the sale of the
road was introduced quite number of
Senators expressed their approval of its
purpose, and a very large and influential
portion of the press of the State thinks the
property ought to be disposed of if fair
price can be obtained for it. It is safe to
say that the more the question of the sale of
the road is discussed the stronger will be the
sentiment in favor of selling it..
If the minimum price mentioned in the
Dean bill can be obtained for it the State
will be in better financial condition than
it is now, because it will be able to pay
about all Of its debts, and the amount of in
terest that will be thus saved is greater than
the present revenue from the road. 1t is not
certain, of course, that the price mentioned
in the Dean bill can be obtained but the
opinion prevails that it can. Indeed there
are those who think the-property is worth a
great deal more than that.
The lessees' claim for betterments will
doubtless be urged persistently and skill
fully, but it will be rather remarkable if it
is allowed. What has thus far appeared in
the public prints about it seems
to indicate that it has no foundation.
Even the lessees do not appear to have
had a thought Of anything of the
kind until recently. The letter of Presi-
dent Brown to the people of Dalton respect
ing the building of depot at that place
loo tba inn, thot of hot 40
expected that at the expiration of tho lease,
the road, with all of its rolling stock, would
pass into the possession of the State free
from any claim.
AS long as the State owns the road there
are certain to be annoying questions con-
nected with it, This question of better
mentS is one of them The amount of money
it involves no one outside of the lessees yet
knows. Another question is that the State
is bound to protect the road from compcti-
ton to preserve its value That involves
the refusal to charter railroads which would
aid the development of portions of the State.
The property is in good order, and is
profitable. 1t can perhaps be sold for a
better price now than can be obtained for
it few years hence. No one can say that it
will be kent in its present excellent condi-
ton, or that competing roads will not lessen
its value. AS rule the property of a State
or municipality which yields a revenue is
eventually grabbed by official thieves who
succeed in getting into places of honor. The
Western and Atlantic road, it is true, has
not been wrecked. and the State has a good
revenue from it, but who can say that such
will continue TO be the case if it remains the
property of the State The wisest thing tc
do with it is to sell it and pay the States
debt with the proceeds of the sale.

King Humbert and the Cholera.
From, the Pan MaN Gazette.


Now that the cholera is said to be breaking
out again in Italy, il may be interesting to give
the following story Of the King of Italy, better
than any that got into the papers, " which is in
cldentally told in tue last part Of Miss AlcSan-
ders ''Christ's Folk in the ApenniEe," edited by
Mr. Ruskin: Il saw a lady little while ago,
married TO PiedmOntese, who was at Busca,
just where the cholera was worst, last summer
QS8D, when the King went there, and she gave
me an interesting account of it all. She said
every one was in panic and afraid to 20 near
the sick people, but the King took hold as
if he had been a hospital nurse going
always where the danger was greatest, sitting
by the beds of the sick, administering their
medicines rubbing them with spirit when the
chill came, giving food, advice or money as
they were wanted, sometimes sympathzing,
sometimes laughing and testing to keepup their
hearts, until others came forward 20 help, just
for shame. And in the evening" when he went
to rest, tired out, and his servants came about
TO change his clothes and 'fumigate him, he
used to smile at their anxietieS and then raise
his eyes to heaven as if to say: There is where
my safety comes from OF course all this did
not suit every one. and there was some talk of
passing law to prevent sovereigns from risk
ing their lives, but Umberto said if they did he
should be the first to break it, and as every one
knew that he would keep his word there was no

Bogard and the Bear Surprised.


JP. Bogard a pioneer wool-xrower of this
county a short time since had occasion TO visit
one of his sheep camps in the mountains about
thirty miles east of Tahama. When he arrived
at the camp, finding everything all right, he
gave the herder a day off and remained at the
camp alone. The cabin was built Of logs and a
shed extending over one end. In the evening
Bo2ard killed a fine sheep and hung it up under
the shed. During the night he was awakened
by what he supposed to be dog eating his
mutton. Quietly slipping out of bed in
scanty raiment, he procured piece Of board
about four feet long and four inches
wide. He tiptoed around the house with the
intention of giving the dog q terrible surprise.
Arriving at the spot he could, in the dim light,
distinctly see some object pulling at the nut
ton. He raised his board and brought it down
with all his might upon the back of a large
grizzly bear. The bear gave an unearthly growl
and spraag at Bogard, who had already dropped
his stick and was making for the door at q 2:4O
gait. AS Bogard jumped into the door his bear
ship succeeded in taking hold of his neither gar
ment, which, being Of light material, gave way,
and Bogard reached place of safety. BoSard
and his herder killed the bear the next day 1t
weighed about 200 pounds

The Chinese Empress Pastime.
From the Hong KONG Times.


The Empress Regent of China is one of the
most remarkable women of the age. Not con
tent with directing the intricate policy of the
most pOpulous empire in the world with Won
full cleverness and sag1city. she has now en-
tered the ranks of competitors for the light
weight championship of the Celestial Empire.
ALFRED in a sort of bloomer costume, she takes
daily lessons in boxing from an old eunuch.
Her appearance at the age Of 50 in short skirt,
hitting ont at her venerable praceptor, and
occasionally receiving punishment herself, must
be comical to the last degree. and the reports
on the mat or form the subject of a most disre-
Spectfu merriment on the part Of
the almond-eyed denizeus of the Chi
nese metropolis. The Empress Regent
was a concubine Of the Emperor Hen
Flung, on whose death she was appointed TO act
as co-regcnt with the GOwGger Empress during
the minority of her son, the late Emperor
Tung Chi. When the latter died, few months
after his marriage, one of those curious in
trigues which make the history of oriental
courts took place. His young bride who was
enciente at the time of the gov monarch's
death, died myStCrOusly before tt nth of her
child. and the old dowager Emprl and CORE
gent took her departure for another world
rather suddenly q few days afterward, leaving
the present Empress Regent in undisputed pos
session OF power. With unusual ability she has
guided the policy of the empire through the
trOublous times which have resulted from the
opening up of the country to foreign trade, and
has SO conducted affairs as to have brought the
nation to an infinitely higher degree of pros
perity and tranquility than it enjoyed when she
took up the renS.
